A Fun Weekend Planned

DD is a delgate for her school's Model United Nations program and is attending a on-day conference tomorrow -- on the Queen Mary in Long Beach! For this conference, she is representing North Korea and discussing it's 'right to food'. (That amazes me, really.)

Anyway, I just couldn't pass up this opportunity to pack my bags for a little getaway, so of course I have to accompany her, and of course we need to spend the night on the ship, because who wants try and battle the traffic on those SoCal freeways at 5:00am tomorrow morning? Not me, that's for sure!

It's DH on-call weekend, so rather than leave DS at home and risk DH getting called to work and spending 30 consecutive hours there, (it HAS happened) DS is coming with me to hang out and relax. He says he's feeling better (after two weeks at home, I sure home so!) so it will be fun.

Anyway, we're all looking forward to the experience of being on an old-time steamer ship! It is a Cunard ship, looks much like the Titanic, but is a bit newer by about 25 years.

So, I'm off to back my bags ...

Bon Voyage! Well, sort of ...

That sounds like so much fun!

I'm not at all familiar w/ the Model United Nations program but it sounds very interesting. Obviously, this must be quite an honor for your dd so I'm thinking congrats are in order. Will you be able to attend her part of the conference? I know I love to hear (and read) things my kids have written for school. I am sometimes surprised when I see their logic and/or their imagination.

Hope you and yours thoroughly enjoy yourselves!
